I have zero idea the format people tend to use for this sort of thing or anything, and I'm really stressing that I'm going to let my kids down by submitting a hot mess. :/ We're a lower-ish income school, but with good community support and the kids have a ton of heart, so this has the potential to be a HUGE change for the team (think the money to build a workshop, get some better laptops, etc.) Does anyone have any suggestions, anything to point to that could help, useful example templates, anything?

Does the "house team" grant require a NASA mentor?
I've applied for the grant before, when we were a 2nd year team. I just outlined that we were potentially losing a major sponsor (Boeing) and we got the grant. Not from a lower-income area by a long shot. So if you just outline the difficulty you have in meeting your financial obligations, and can show you are out of "major" sponsors, you've got a shot.
